Reykjavík’s oldest coffee shop, which opened in 1958, is located on a serene downtown side street and makes a wonderful pit stop to refuel over coffee and pastries. The leather booth seating attracts students and creative types who while away the afternoon over hot chocolates and marzipan-covered cakes. Go for the Mokka, a rectangular pastry with a cream-and-jam filling and a chocolate glaze, or freshly made waffles served with whipped cream and fresh berries. Open daily.
